HP ALM/QC Integration with JIRA

The integration of HP ALM/QC with JIRA makes it easier for the development, and quality assurance (QA) teams to collaborate with each other.

This, in turn, helps in delivering a high quality product to customers at a faster pace.Download PDF

HP ALM/QC JIRA Integration Overview

In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems and the collaboration between the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivity of a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the business requirements.

Best-of-breed systems such as HP ALM/QC and JIRA bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. By integrating HP ALM/QC and JIRA, enterprises can seamlessly manage the product development. The developers using JIRA will have clear visibility into the quality parameters and test results at all times. On the other hand, the QA team members will have real-time visibility into the codes being written and have full context of the development.

How HPQC – JIRA integration is beneficial for an enterprise

Real-time updates on the status of a story, its estimated time of delivery, and any risks that might delay the impending release

Complete context of the customer requirement and visibility into codes written by the development team & test cases
written by QA team

Coordinate on the delivery timelines seamlessly with concurrent updates on changes

With HP ALM/QC + JIRA integration, enterprises can:

How OpsHub Integration Manager integrates HP ALM/QC and Jama

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates HP ALM/QC and Jama bi-directionally. It ensures that all historical and current data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘requirements’ from Jama automatically synchronize to HP ALM/QC and all the defects associated with the ‘requirement’ synchronize back to Jama.

Use Case: HP ALM/QC Integration with JIRA

Problem statement: The development team creates versions, sprints, and requirements in JIRA – which is the development system and replicate the same in HP ALM/QC – which is used by the QA team. The defects are created in HP ALM/QC and then replicated in JIRA. Manual replication of data takes a lot of time and effort.

Solution: When HP ALM/QC and JIRA are integrated, there will not be any duplication of efforts and the data between both the systems will synchronize in real time.

The development team creates a ‘version’ in JIRA with basic attributes such as name, description, start date and end date. It synchronizes to HP ALM/QC as a ‘requirement’.

The development team, then, creates ‘sprint’ in JIRA with basic attributes, which synchronizes to HP ALM/QC as a ‘cycle’.

The development team then creates ‘requirements’ in the already created version and sprint in JIRA. The ‘requirements’ sync to HP ALM/QC with traceability of cycle and release.

The developer then works on the requirement and updates the status of the ‘requirement’ to ‘closed’ in JIRA, which again synchronizes to status of the ‘requirement’ in HP ALM/QC.

The QA team, then runs a quality test and finds a ‘defect’. They log the defect in HP ALM/QC, which synchronizes to JIRA.
